The Jaded
Your smile
White and clean as hospital tile
And alcoholic skin
To burn everything that touches it
And goes within
Pupils of stainless steel
And sharp edges to make
Your head reel
You make me stand on edges of buildings
Looking down
Scared to lean over water
Scared to drown
They say all clouds have
Silver linings
Well your cloud is made for Zeus
Lighting bolts and no truce
No alliance
Shocking everything
No reliance
No emotions loose
When will your walls break and when will you fall
Or will you ever find
that peace
at all?
